Brott, bedrägerier och andra oegentligheter, vilka riktar sig mot EU:s eko-nomiska intressen skadar allvarligt EU:s budget varje år. För att garantera ett bättre skydd för EU:s finanser framlade kommissionen i juli 2013 För-slag till Rådets förordning om inrättande av Europeiska åklagarmyndighe-ten . Myndigheten ska ha en exklusiv kompetens att utreda brott mot EU:s ekonomiska intressen över hela Fraud and other offences, aimed towards the financial interestets of the union, are seriously harming the union’s budget every year. To guarantee a better protection of the unions finances, the Commission put forward Pro-posal for a Council Regulation on the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office . The Office will have an exclusive competence to in-vestigate and prosecute crimina

After the Arab spring, states in the MENA-region that were enrolled in the popular uprisings are now entering different settings. Some have been more successful, and reaching all the way to democratic consolidation. Others like Egypt are currently experiencing severe backlashes. In this post revolution context, time is starting to run out for an escape out of the transitional maze. Tunisia is not

In scholarly literature, it is widely acknowledged that ‘the shadow of hierarchy’, hence the threat of disadvantageous Community legislation, is an important con-cept in European social dialogue (ESD), where European social partners – that is organised labour and management – are given the chance to negotiate binding agreements on some aspects of European labour and social policy. While the shadow

This thesis is a thematic analysis of two major themes in the poetry of Sylvia Plath: Death and rebirth. The idea is to look at selected poems by Plath without taking into account biographical data. The thesis investigates death as perfection, the act of dying and the performative aspect of rebirth. It also takes a closer look at the meaning of the color red and the movement upwards (the ascent) a

Uppsatsen syfte är att undersöka huruvida en minskning av working capital kan påverka lönsamheten och om det i så fall skulle kunna användas som en strategi för företagsledningar. Ett sekundärt syfte är att undersöka om finanskrisen har påverkat arbetet med att minska working capital. Uppsatsen exemplifierar problemet genom att undersöka en hårt konkurrensutsatt bransch, hemelektronikbranschen i SThis study examine the relationship between working capital and profitability to see if a reduction of working capital could be used as a strategy for managers to increase profitability. A second purpose of this paper is to examine how the latest global financial crisis can impact working capital management. This paper exemplifies this problem by examining a struggling industry in Sweden, specific

Although Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage programs have proven ineffective in reducing teenage pregnancy rates and the spread of STDs, thirteen states in the U.S still stress abstinence in their sexual education curricula. This in turn has created a big debate over what sexual education in public schools should contain. This paper intends to determine whether the arguments proposed by three advocacy

Supersymmetri (SUSY) är en av de teoretiskt bäst motiverade modellerna för fysik bortom standardmodellen (BSM), och en lovande kandidat för upptäckt vid Large Hadron Collider (LHC). ATLAS-kollaborationen har utfört omfattande sökningar efter SUSY-signaturer med hjälp av data från proton-proton kollisioner i LHC, tagna under 2010, 2011 och 2012 års tid vid energier på 7 TeV och mer nyligen 8 TeV. DSupersymmetry (SUSY) is one of the best theoretically motivated beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios, and a favored candidate to be discovered by the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The ATLAS collaboration has been extensively searching for SUSY signatures using 2010, 2011 and 2012 data from LHC proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and recently at 8 TeV

FN:s råd för mänskliga rättigheter har flera gånger uppmärksammat det växande problemet med juridiska trakasserier mot journalister i världen. I ett fungerande demokratiskt samhälle är det viktigt att skydda så väl yttrande- som pressfrihet. Rådet har betonat att regler kring ärekränkning utnyttjas för att tysta ner den offentlig debatten och granskningen av makten. Vanligtvis går den här bestraffThe UN Human Rights Council has several times addressed the expanding issue of judicial harassments against journalists around the world. In a functioning democracy, it is important to protect the freedom of expression and the freedom of the press. The Council has emphasized that laws on defamation are used to intimidate public debate and public scrutiny. Generally, the term for this method is str

This research aimed to explore the sense of touch within the discipline of architecture. While haptic stimulation has been studied within architectural theory, the sense of touch remains underrepresented within the practical side of the discipline. To increase the accessibility of the knowledge necessary for representation within architectural practice, there was a need for further study. This has

Standardmodellen är idag fysikens mest konkreta beskrivning av universums minsta beståndsdelar. Den tillåter oss att kategorisera den synliga materian i sina grundläggande partiklar och beskriva deras växelverkan genom tre av de fyra fundamentala naturkrafterna; elektromagnetism, den starka kraften och den svaga kraften. Modellen har även lyckats förena beskrivningen av elektromagnetism och den svWith physicists actively exploring Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theories that may fill in the gaps of the Standard Model (SM), a fundamental question arises: which parameters hold physical significance? In this thesis, we present our initial progress towards the development of a model-independent artificial intelligence framework designed for conducting parameter space scans in BSM scenarios. O

The American author and journalist Joan Didion was especially known for her non-fiction that pertinently described the culture she lived in, but her novels also offer a frank and realistic perspective on American society. In her two first novels Run River (1963) and Play It As It Lays (1970) Didion portrays the respective main characters, Lily Knight McClellan and Maria Wyeth, as fragile women who

Undervattenskablar och deras status inom folkrätten är mer aktuellt än någon- sin. Under de senaste åren har kabelbrott i Östersjön skapat rubriker runt om i världen och aktualiserat såväl deras skydd inom folkrätten som tänkbara åt- gärder som respons på kabelbrott. En tänkbar åtgärd mot kabelbrott finns i ar- tikel 51 i FN-stadgan, som ger stater rätt att agera i självförsvar om de utsätts för eThe status of submarine cables in international law is more relevant than ever. In the last couple of years, ruptures in the Baltic Sea have made headlines around the world, sparking discussions regarding their protection under inter- national law as the legal possibilities of responses to such ruptures. One pos- sible response is through Article 51 of the UN Charter, which gives States the right

Core elements of countries’ clean energy industry success, as well as low-carbon economic development, have attracted various levels of interest from countries around the world. This thesis is based on an analysis of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act. With regard, it gives the background of what the regulation is about and its rationale. In a critical way, it has analyzed some elements of the chal

The Church of Sweden is marginalized in society and the membership of the Church is decreasing, which means that the church's economy is on the decline, but the demands on the Church by its members have not decreased. This is a comparative study that deals with the roles of deacons and priests and their contribution to the Church. The aim is to get an overview of similarities and differences i

The 1st of April 2018 an aviation tax was implemented in Sweden. With an event study approach this paper aims to provide an understanding of the outcome of the new policy. This by investigating if the tax causes significant effects on the stock returns of concerned flight carriers and whether the policy causes a significant change in the number of air passengers travelling from Sweden. By calculat

Since the CJEU’s creation, it has been significant to solidify and review European Law. However, rather than merely being the dispute arbiter of the European Union, it is also seen to be a driver for political change and integration. The involvement of the CJEU in political matters has often been associated with judicial activism. An area especially prone to this phenomenon has been fundamental ri

Tunisia is where all hope and rebellion started. After the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in 2010, the Jasmine Revolution spread to other Arab countries leading to the famous Arab Spring. Tunisia is depicted as the model of democratic transition in the Arab region and in the West. Transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented in the country, notably a Truth and Dignity Commission aimi
